    First Night as a House Magician

    First Night as a House Magician

    That's awesome dude! I plan on hittin' up a local restaurant to do that as well, sounds like it's amazingly fun! How did you approach the restaurant about hiring you though? Did you just talk to the manager or what? I'm just curious.

    Who Knew?

    Haha, way to hang in there dude. Children can be the toughest audience, and it really shows how one's dedication when you manage to persevere. Kudos to ya.

    What's Your Favorite Color Change?

    I use different changes depending on the situation. The Twirl Change fries every time, so I use that often. I also like to use the Winter Change and the Ego/Cardini Change as well. The Snap Change is awesome, but I find it to be too angle sensitive to actually use a majority of the time. The...

    Defect Guarantee (An effect by Keenan Gibson)

    I like the concept, but the actual performace could still use some brushing up. Nice job though, very creative, keep it up!

    Aviator Playing Cards

    The finish is different than that of Bicycles, but they are smooth in their own unique way. Their pretty durable and don't get wore out too quickly.

    Saturday Night Contest - Performance Stories : Holiday Edition

    On December 14th, the local library was having an open mic night, so I thought I would perform some magic. My routine went well, and all the other performances were good too. The thing was, there was a huge time slot left after everyone was finished, they urged me to do more magic. So I did...

    Mercury

    Like the others have said, you need to work on your handling of the Ascanio Spread. The method is pretty obvious from the bad angle, which can be easily fixed with repetitious practice. Really that's what it boils down to: practice, practice, and practice some more.

    Fun Decoration and Good Practice

    Interesting concept. I think it's a good idea, because that means you have to perform at least 54 times to complete your goal. Plus that will be a pretty cool montage for your wall.

    Indecent : Need critics!

    From a technical standpoint, everything was sound and well executed. Add some patter and you have a winner. A better camera angle would have been fantastic, as it was very hard to tell what was going on. Keep on keepin' on!

    Dealing with Mess-Ups : Getting Through It

    I actually had quite a funny moment happen today. I was performing Mr. Stickman for a couple friends and the effect was going great. I vanished Mr. Stickman, and then spread through the deck to find where he ended up. Well, I had left a blue card in my red deck. So here was this random blue...

    Small Hands Problem That Needs Fixing

    Like everyone else has said, just practice. I have semi-snall hands, and I in turn just have to practice harder, especially when it comes to angles in palming or card productions. Relating to palming, misdirection is your best friend, a little corner sticking out shouldn't stop you. But, like...

    Phenomenon Finale

    Haha, yeah that was a little unexpected. It was interesting though, the last thing I expected him to do was pull a rope through his body. I thought it was humorous.

    Phenomenon Finale

    What did y'all think? I was very impressed with pretty much all the effects performed, including the ones from the dudes that were "no longer on the show." The finale was very entertaining, in my opinion, and the winner deserved to win. It was very close there at the end.

    TnR by Mathieu Bich : See the Teaser

    Wow is the only word needed to describe this effect. It is that visually stunning. Just fantastic. I'm looking forward to its release.

    World Poker Tour Cards

    Are they worth the hefty price? The ones around where I live are a bit pricey for regular use.

    Simple hits hard

    The Biddle Trick is fantastic, it is one of my favorites that I love to perform. Never underestimate what we magicians may consider to be a simple effect. You'd be surprised at the reactions you get from those effects, for example, try a Hot Shot Cut to reveal a selection. It will blow your...

    Performing Magic in School

    Fantastic post. I know exactly what it feels like to be constantly heckled, and it's not a joyous occurence, but there's always a way around it. Thank you for posting that story!
